-'''Romantic and sexual orientation''' are enduring personal qualities that incline people to feel romantic and sexual attraction to certain kinds of people. Sometimes terms for sexual orientation are also used to include romantic orientation, the tendency to feel romantic attraction to certain kinds of people. Other times, orientation labels differentiate between romantic and sexual attraction. Some of the most widely known labels for attraction, such as "lesbian," also imply the user's gender. Words for attraction experienced by nonbinary people or attraction to nonbinary people have been proposed, but are not as wide-spread yet. By some interpretations, every orientation includes attraction to some nonbinary people.<ref name="KravitzM">{{Cite web |title=Does Liking a Nonbinary Person Make You Bi or Pan?

 == Usually attracted to women ==
 In the English-speaking world, most people know about three orientations that are usually attracted to women: bisexuals (who are attracted to two or more genders), [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Heterosexuality|heterosexual men]], and [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Homosexuality|homosexual women]] ([[Romantic and sexual orientation#Lesbian|lesbians]]). Some other identity labels have been proposed in order to have a way to say that one is usually attracted to women, without labeling one's own gender identity: [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Gynephilia|gynephilia]], [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Femaric|femaric]], [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Feminamoric|feminamoric]], [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Neptunic|neptunic]], and [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Venusic|venusic]]. Some identity labels have been proposed specifically for nonbinary people who are usually attracted to women: [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Azalian|azalian]], nonbinary people loving women ([[Romantic and sexual orientation#NBLW|NBLW]]), and [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Orbisian/Trixic|orbisian/trixic]].
